to be taiwanese
is to be interrogated
for some things you know

nothing about except for
the shape of a sweet potato

i am not secure –
when you are halfway across
the world, everything

moves speedlessly, and i am
still looking for the pause button

are a food group –
you said there must be
a crossover
somewhere, a continuity

and scones
are equal,
a singularity

let us consider

let us consider
everything
at this latitude –
at least twelve
luminous decimal
places out – stuff
the lining of our
dreams with
their Cartesian
accompaniments,
unpack the frame
underneath us,
and never stop
rubbing our
coordinates
together
to spark
love’s discovery

for every longitude

for every longitude
crossed
for the very
first time, the brain
pushes through a
limit of compilation,
draws a new doodle
to symbolize this
street, this corner,
this hand-holding.
for every latitude,
we break down in
laughter, spin
the compass
